Dear user,

This tool has been developed to support road authorities in decisions relating to road design.
The aim of this tool is to raise awareness of how roads can be better tuned to road users.
Firstly, roads can be designed to be self-explaining for road users.
Secondly, the road design can be designed to the requirements of a safe system .

The tool addresses these two issues by focussing on speed in relation to design characteristics of the road.
More information about the tool can be found
